Welcome back, guerrilla! Today we’re diving into the best early upgrades and unlocks you absolutely need to focus on in Far Cry 6. Yes, you’ll eventually want to unlock everything, but in the early hours of your rebellion, certain choices will give you a noticeable advantage in combat, movement, and overall efficiency. Let’s break it down—from the best Supremos to smart facility upgrades that will make your campaign in Yara that much smoother.

Start Strong with These Two Must-Have Supremos

There are multiple Supremos in Far Cry 6, and while you’ll want them all eventually, your first pick matters. You’ll unlock them from Juan’s weapon vendor using depleted uranium. So, let’s talk about your best bets:

1. The Furioso Supremo This should be your first Supremo. It has two incredible perks:

• Explosive Ring: Deals AoE fire damage to enemies around you.
• Midair Dash: A unique thrust ability that lets you launch forward in the air. You can use this for dodging, traversal, or even to break your fall before landing (no parachute needed).

Yes, you can air-dash just before hitting the ground and avoid fall damage entirely. Once you get the timing down, it’s one of the most satisfying and versatile abilities in the game. Combine it with Far Cry’s fire physics and you’ve got chaos in a bottle. Set a forest ablaze or fly past guards into an objective.

2. The Volta Supremo This one’s all about disabling tech:

• EMP Blast: Instantly crashes helicopters and disables vehicles.
• EMP Grenades: Super useful throwables that stun enemies and knock out tanks, drones, and more.

Before you get access to rocket launchers or heavy explosives, this Supremo is your best defense against enemy armor. You can even use EMPs to sabotage tanks, forcing enemies out or leaving them helpless.

Early Supremo Mods Worth Using

On top of the Supremos themselves, you’ll want to mod them out with strategic upgrades:

• Rush Mod: Improves movement speed. It’s perfect for fast traversal, especially when you can’t call a mount or vehicle during combat. Great for missions with long treks or when you need to reposition quickly.
• Stealth Material: Reduces noise during movement. It’s okay, but stealth is already forgiving in Far Cry 6, and the AI isn’t exactly top-tier. You’re probably better off investing in other perks.
• Sharpshooter Mod (Charger Socket): A must-have for headshot enthusiasts. Every headshot you land adds bonus charge to your Supremo’s ultimate ability. You’ll be able to fire off your Supremo multiple times per fight. It charges faster and more consistently than the kill-streak alternative, which requires multiple enemies in quick succession.

How to Get Depleted Uranium and Supremo Bonds

You’ll need both depleted uranium and Supremo Bonds to unlock Supremos and mods. Here’s how to reliably farm them:

• Depleted Uranium: Found in chests at every anti-aircraft site. Each site gives 50–100 uranium. Clear them out early to gain air superiority and unlock Supremos.
• Supremo Bonds: The most reliable source is supply drops. These appear on your map (look for orange smoke or icons) and are protected by soldiers. Clear out the enemies, open the crate, and you’ll get Bonds, Gunpowder, and more. Libertad crates sometimes contain Bonds, but the drops aren’t guaranteed.

Facility Upgrades That Change the Game

Once you start unlocking guerrilla camps, you’ll be able to build and upgrade facilities. Some are better than others in the early game—here’s what to prioritize:

1. Hideout Network This is the single most useful early facility for a few reasons:

• Instant Wingsuit Unlock – Glide across huge distances quickly.
• Airdrop Capability – Fast travel now includes the ability to parachute or wingsuit from the air.
• Buy Hidden Hideout Locations – This opens up fast travel points across the map, even in places you haven’t visited yet. The map becomes much easier to traverse.

2. Bandidos Barracks This one is more useful than it first appears:

• Enlist More Recruits – With each upgrade, you gain more Bandidos to send on operations.
• More Operations = More Loot – Send out leaders and crews to do missions that reward Gunpowder, Supremo Bonds, gear, and more.
• Recruitment Made Easy – Free hostages and civilians while exploring and they’ll join your roster. With this facility built, each rescue gives you five new recruits instead of just one.

Over time, Bandidos operations become a passive source of essential resources—and they feed directly back into your Supremo upgrades and gear enhancements.

Final Thoughts: Create a Snowball Effect

Focusing early on the right Supremos, mods, and facilities creates a cycle where each system fuels the next. Grab Furioso or Volta, use those powers to conquer anti-air sites, collect uranium and Bonds, then build facilities that expand your map coverage and unlock even more resources. You’ll snowball in power far faster than if you go in without a plan.
